From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Telegoons was a BBC television comedy puppet show adapted from the highly successful BBC radio comedy show of the 1950s, The Goon Show. Two series of 11 and 15 episodes were made. The series was briefly repeated immediately after its original run, and all episodes are known to have survived (having been unofficially released on the Internet). Harry Secombe, Peter Sellers and Spike Milligan reprised their original voice roles from the radio series and appeared in promotional photos with some of the puppets from the show. A Telegoons comic strip appeared in TV Comic during the 1960s.
The only official broadcast of any Telegoons material since the 1960s was a short excerpt, claimed to have been newly printed from the original negative, shown on the 1980s BBC archive series Windmill.
